Happy Birthday to Me

Another year for me!!! I love getting older…I mean, I love the idea of being older, alive, healthy and here!! There was a time when I was scared that I wouldn’t make it much longer…those long lonely chemo days were the ones when I was think about IF I were to die, when i would die and what I would miss out on!  All real feelings I had.  So now when I have a birthday and I’m alive and healthy, I’m happy and very grateful!!

This years birthday was another one that fell on Friday the 13th. I don’t know if any of you remember my last birthday that was my “bad luck birthday”…you know…when I was 25..went to laughlin, got a speeding ticket, boat broke, everyone got food poisoning, my birthday present died (our puppy Hiro)…yeah it wasn’t fun!  So I was a little anxious about this birthday. 

I woke up to the cutest handmade cards from my big kids!!! I love them.

So off to work I went.  Only thing that was REALLY REALLY bugging me was my shoulder. I was having shoulder/arm/chest/neck pain. Wasn’t sure if I injured it working out, slept wrong or what. But I was in MAJOR pain!!  But the day went on. 

I came home to my favorite homemade cake made by my favorite person..My mama.

Got home and in bed early. I was coming down with a cold AND my shoulder was just so painful.  No drinking, no partying, no dancing, no nothing. I just wanted to sleep. Its crazy how pain can drain the hell out of you!!

All in all it was a decent birthday…considering my darn shoulder pain!

The next day, Bernie came over and let me and Yosh go on a day date. I really wanted to paddle board BUT my shoulder wouldn’t allow for that!  So we went down to the beach…visited the American Junkie for bottomless mimosa’s and lunch.

As we were at the beach we had some friends say they were going to come over…that ended up turning into 4 families coming over to show me some love for my birthday. It was the most last minute little party ever and it was great!
